Press Reviews

"Insightful…exposes one to the raw nerves struck by the specter of impending matrimony...Illuminates the tenuous Achilles tendons attached to the structure of marriage flayed bare by verbal surgical strikes of crisp dialogue...highly recommended for those considering the pros and cons of a trip down the aisle and what being a couple means in a post-feminist, pre-marital conundrum."
— NYC Reviews (Reviewed by Aziz Rahman)

"A small, intimate play that remains full of substance without any over-arching socio-political agendas…blends the highly comic with the more dramatic elements of Amy and Sean’s fighting with aplomb...Hearse makes its case not only for the costs and benefits of marriage, but also for an overlooked theatrical subgenre…Morillo proves that smart comedy is alive and well."
— Offoffonline.com (Reviewed by Doug Strassler)

"Morillo expertly preserved the fine balance in the script between pain and tenderness, without ever forsaking levity. It does not necessarily end the way an audience might think it would. This was truly an exquisite piece of theater."
